In the second season of The Afterparty, which hits Apple TV+ on July 12, Tiffany Haddish returns to her role as a detective investigating one wacky murder. In real life, before she hit it big as an actor and comedian, her first jobs were actually for airlines, which has informed how she travels to this day—so, yes, she’s judging her planemates’ behavior. “I can’t stand when people are rude to the customer service agents. Before they even give them a chance, there’s not even a hello, just rude off the top!” Haddish says. Her advice for persuading gate staff, then, is pretty simple. “I smile first, ask them how they're doing, and then ask for what it is I want. And I usually get it, because people want to be treated with kindness,” she says.
Haddish, who also appears later this month in the movie The Haunted Mansion, based off the Disney theme park ride, chatted with Condé Nast Traveler about hotel research, partying on Greek islands, her favorite spots in her hometown, and more.

The term “safari,” which comes from the Swahili for “journey,” is now used to describe ecotourism experiences beyond those in Africa. When English speakers adopted the term, it originally referred to bush hunting trips; as those waned in popularity over the 20th century, “safari” became less associated with hunting, and more associated with what professionals today refer to as photographic safaris. We now see the term “safari” apply to ecotourism experiences like tiger safari in the jungles of Ranthambore, India; puma safari in Chile’s Torres del Paine National Park; polar bear safari in sub-arctic Canada. And while I haven’t yet heard any Massachusetts locals explicitly use the term yet, I would like to proclaim here and now: a shark safari in the waters off Cape Cod—which is estimated to have the highest density of white sharks in the world—should now be counted on that list.
